Thoughts after thinking about this comment and thread for a day:

Has the time come for wiki directory of non-commercial (possibly: advertising-free, cookie-free) sites with robust, actually valuable information, and other sites that are doorways to them (think: topical forums, even revived webrings, etc)? Could this feasibly get enough action to be useful?

Think about the proliferation of various "awesome" lists on Github.

Some of them are curated and awesome. Some, less so. Likely some of them are even spammy.

The need is realized, but execution is hard.

Yes. I was looking for a modern _human_ curated directory of web content just the other day and found nothing usable. I don't think that excluding commercial entries would be necessary, but perhaps there could be some way to filter commercial entries out. Ad-free, JS-free, and cookie-free would be ideal.

Just curious – what content exactly would you be interested in? If any other poster wants to chip in with suggestions, feel free.
